Viviendo Unidos

There are many immigrants living in the U.S alone. Immigration is an important topic to talk about because it’s a constant issue in the U.S. My parents are from Puerto Rico, and legally Puerto Ricans can come into the United States without a passport. But, what about my neighbors; I grew up next to immigrants from Albania and Santo Domingo. My childhood wouldn't have been the same without them.
In the article above you'll read about an Act that penalizes landlords who rent to immigrants without legal documentation. There are a lot of illegal immigrants and this is just unconstitutional. How could someone be so cold to another person and not give them a place to call home. Something that has come to my attention is the fact that immigrants are helping our economy. For one, they are starting small businesses that create jobs which lead to more money. Plus, our economy can’t afford to send back every single undocumented immigrant. The U.S. is far in debt to be trying to get people out of it. Plus, immigrants aren’t causing problems, so why is their stay in the U.S. so looked down upon?
